"Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any better than sticking your head in an oven would make you a biscuit. It’s all about actively pursuing a relationship with the resurrected Lord. THAT will transform your life."

- Pastor Joby, Beach United Methodist Church

"The things that happen in our lives are allowed to happen because the Lord wants to draw us to him. We make decisions and do things, thinking we're in control, but we never really are. God is. It's arrogance and pride to think we rule our lives. It's an illusion. We're never able to orchestrate a thing. God is in control."

- Francine Rivers, The Scarlet Thread
